You have the opportunity to purchase this excellent Ford Mondeo car for potentially ONLY ONE EURO!!!

Lot number 1 in our auction on Sat 14th November is this 2002 Ford Mondeo Estate Car with NO RESERVE and sold to the highest bidder. It’s a really tidy car and seems to drive well; It is 2.0L Turbo Diesel (DURA TORQ TDCi), 5-Speed Manual with only 85,000 miles on the clock… Fitted with tow bar, roof rails, air conditioning, electric windows, remote central locking and alloys, etc.

Sold with road tax until the end of the year and MOT until Jan 2022, it appears to our un-trained eyes(!) a very clean and tidy car which was well kept by the retired English previous owners!

The auction is LIVE ONLINE through www.castle-auctions.com, due to the pandemic we can’t hold a physical auction in the saleroom. You are welcome to come and see the car on the 2 VIEWING DAYS; Thursday 12th and Friday 13th November from 10am to 5pm, or the morning of the sale from 9am.

ALL AUCTIONS WILL NOW START AT 10AM **

Many of us are currently spending a lot more time at home than usual, due to the Corona Virus and lockdown measures in place. How are you coping and spending the time?

Once you’ve exhausted Netflix, cleaned the house from top to bottom and played every game you own 100 times, here is another productive way to utilise this time… Take a look around your home, each room in the house, inside the cupboards, the garage, shed or basement, the loft space, etc.

Do you have any jewellery you never wear? Are there tools or exercise equipment you never use? Do you still have Grandma’s Dinner Service in the back of the kitchen cupboard? Do you still have the un-wanted gift from your Aunty in the spare bedroom? Thought about changing some pieces of furniture?

Most families will find dozens of items lying around their home, taking up space, causing clutter and depreciating in value. They could easily be converted into hundreds or even thousands of Euros!

If you bring any suitable items to Castle Auctions, we will do our best for you and raise as much money as we can for your items. You can then use this cash to buy the jewellery you will wear, that new bike or treadmill you wanted, have a holiday, or just help pay the bills…

Don’t stop there! Although Castle Auctions don’t usually accept Clothes and Shoes, I’m sure the local charity shop would massively appreciate the donations after the temporary closure of their shops during the lockdown.

Castle Auctions saleroom’s in Limassol and Nicosia are currently closed too during the lockdown, but we are still receiving emails and would love to hear from you with any items you are considering bringing in – you can ask any questions or where possible, send photos for an initial auction estimate, this also helps us manage the space in our warehouse and plan what items are arriving and when.

We look forward to resuming business as normal, as soon as possible, most importantly when it’s safe for our staff and customers.

The security and safety of our customers and employees is our main concern during this difficult time and we are following the directives of the Cyprus Government as well as local and international health authority guidelines.

The decision to have ‘ONLINE ONLY’ auctions until further notice, strictly control visitor numbers at the Saleroom and the implementation of other measures to protect against spreading the virus will allow us to fulfil our obligations to sellers and safeguard our customers and staff.

Bid from the comfort and isolation of your own home.

We will post details on our website, auction catalogue pages and Facebook pages relating to each auction event and our operations.

Please stay at home, stay safe and whilst you have time – have sort out or tidy up in the garage, loft, spare bedroom, jewellery cabinet, etc – you might find lots of items you no longer need which can be sold by auction and raise some money!

You will also find hundreds of items on our ‘Buy Now’ pages in both Limassol and Nicosia salerooms – although there maybe a delay in collecting or delivering any items (which is beyond our control), you can still buy / reserve these items anytime.
